Blanche Neige

 

Out of our kitchen window, looking straight up to the mountain called Grand Bec, there are quite a few chalets on the hillside.
On Christmas Eve, during a brief pause in the snowfall, with low cloud and mist you couldn't see the other chalets, only the one nearest to us, called Blanche Neige (White Snow).
It is the one of the oldest holiday chalets in the village, little has changed inside.

I did this little watercolour painting alongside my mum in my attic studio from sketches we did through the kitchen window and photos I took.  It was too cold to paint outside.
Most of my paintings are now on display in the Vallee Blanche Restaurant in Pralognan, so I do need to do some more to put on the walls of the chalet now that the bustle of the Christmas holiday has slipped by.
